Added Guidance for Week Two Paper

As we enter the weekend and each of you begin organizing and writing your week two paper “Case Analysis: Xample Manufacturing Annual Draft Operating Budget” (assignment specifics below), I thought it important to provide some additional guidance in respect to what I expect your paper to include and not to include.

This assignment is about the drafting an annual budget across the four quarters of the year using the provided template and writing a brief that explains the budgeting process while describing how revenues and expenses were used to forecast net revenue for each quarter. I also recommend discussing in the two to three page brief how budgets can be used to control processes in the business and how variables (in each income and expense category) that may occur during the budget year may communicate the need for corrective action during the operating year. Make sure that the completed budget template is incorporated in full as a part of your submission (note that the budget template is in addition to the two to three pages brief).

Your paper must incorporate a minimum of two scholarly sources (must use the AU Library or sources suggested in the “Finding Sources” announcement posted in the Announcement section of the main classroom) plus the textbook. Sources from encyclopedias including Wikipedia, newspapers, Google, popular magazines, etc. are not acceptable. Trade journals, published research reports, and monographs (books from reliable publishers) are acceptable. If you need help connect with an UAGC librarian or even me.

Follow APA 7th edition guidelines in the preparation of your two to three page manuscriipt. For more information on APA, refer to the UAGC Writing Center.

Remember, the paper is not about you personally despite the assignment descriiption. Therefore, do not include personal pronouns (I, me, my, etc.) in the body of your text. Instead, write the paper as a plan you expect to follow and do so in a third person writing style.

Keep in mind that I submit every paper to Turnitin to review and evaluate content. Doing so allows me to see if your paper’s content and its sources correctly attribute the contributions of others.

If you have questions, please ask. You are far better off asking questions in advance than asking forgiveness later.
